That's right. Every Friday, I'm going to share with ya'll a lesson my
characters have learned sometime earlier that week while I wrote their
story. Because we all know that sometimes the best lessons are ones
learned in a more painful way than not (usually). It also serves to act
as a way to share vague plot devices: what are the many ways you can get
your characters into trouble? Read on to find out.

Project: CHILD'S PLAY
Genre: Short Story
Lesson Learned: Maybe Mother was on to something when she said not to talk to strangers. Just because somebody doesn't look dangerous, doesn't mean they can't effectively cause you to blind yourself before they steal your stuff.
Being young and impressionable is no excuse. If you get warnings from your own mother to help guide you safely to your destination, you might want to think about those warnings, and then actually heed them.
Mother is always right (sometimes).
